IPO: Govt May Raise Rs 15k cr From IPO Of 2 PSU Insurers
Initial public offer (IPO) is a part of the government's plans to list four state-owned non-life insurers and the national reinsurer.
Initial public offering of the two state-owned general insurance companies is likely to yield over Rs 15,000 crore to the exchequer, said merchant banking sources.
Out of the five state-owned general insurance companies, New India Assurance (NIA) and GIC Re are gearing up to hit the capital market over the next few weeks.
The government had estimated to garner about Rs 11,000 crore by diluting its stake in insurance companies as part of disinvestment plans for the current fiscal.
In view of the current market condition, the government may easily get Rs 15,000 crore by diluting stake in these two companies, sources said, adding it could be upwards of Rs 15,000 crore. SBI Life IPO: All You Need To Know About This Biggest IPO

The company registered a profit-after-tax of Rs 3,127 crore in FY2016-17, an increase of 9.8 per cent over the previous year. The net worth of the company stood at Rs 47,983 crore.
As far as New India Assurance, the largest public sector general insurance company, is concerned, the government will be selling 9.6 crore shares, whereas NIA itself will be selling 2.4 crore shares through IPO. Two IPOs This Week: SBI Life And Prataap Snacks
